The demon Amun, which is not recorded in Helia's books, at least that's what Josh knows.

Helia has described demons, most of which are spiritual realm entities born from the emotions of living beings, but a small number of them also incorporate natural elements.

Among them, Helia has no record of the ten ancient demons.

The most relevant description is the Azarcana of the Newborn Land, and there are also mentions of the two demon subordinates of the Iron Armor Wraith who once ruled the Valoran continent:

Tybok, the demon of fire and wrath, and Antakan, the demon of shadows.

And the hidden demon Ramo who was imprisoned in the capital of Noxus and in the depths of the immortal fortress by Mordecaesar, may have been imprisoned by Mordecaesar for too long and did not show up, and Fuguang Island has only understated sporadic records.

As for the likes of Tam Kenzie, the Demon of Desire, Evelyn, the Demon of Intense Pain, and the Demon of Shadows and Nightmares, they are all "new" demons born during the Rune Wars, and they have only now become famous.

The demon in front of him, who called himself "Amon", was far from qualified to say that it was one of the top ten ancient demons.

As such, it either rarely showed up before the fall of Fuguang Island, or it was born during the Rune Wars, just like demons like Tamu, Evelyn, and Morteng.

Josh misses his face, and Ahri looks at him as well, and the two look at each other silently, their eyes filled with the same doubts.

It seems that the scholars of Fukukoshima have not encountered this demon since then, otherwise Ahri would not have this expression......

Josh looked at the writhing rhombohedron in the center of the platform for a moment, and began to observe the "teleportation platform" suspended above the abyss.

In addition to the magically powered mechanical lifting platform, Fukuko Island also has a two-way arcane teleportation device, though Josh has only experienced it in the Vasani Vault.

The spiritual realm of the Isle of Shadows has been destroyed, and Josh is unable to use his magic to use Warp Leap for arcane teleportation.

However, with the paired fixed teleportation device, it is possible to bypass the restrictions of the spiritual realm and teleport in a smooth channel constructed separately by the two.

Even in the dark fog-strewn Shadow Isle teleportation, this arcane teleportation device is secure.

At present, Amon occupies the teleportation array in the center of the platform, and there is no so-called "safe passage" here, unless a hole is made in the ceiling to go to the upper level.

If you don't solve the immediate disaster, who knows if Josh did it, what kind of storm can this demon stir up?

"There's another room next to it, Ahri, Gwen, you can go and take a look."

"There's nothing there, it's just a study." "Sentinels explored this place hundreds of years ago, taking as much as we could with what we needed...... At that time, this guy didn't exist. ”

At that moment, Lunicia suddenly spoke: "It says its name is Amun...... Right? 】

"You know it?"

[I seem to have read the records of this demon in Shurima's books, but it's been too long...... If you go and put it down, see if you can ask for any clues, demons like to communicate with humans the most. 】

"So, we can't deal with this guy violently?" Josh asked, "I still have a World Rune that is useless." ”

[You can try, but what are the consequences...... Take it upon yourself. 】

Josh sighed silently in his heart, then propped up the magic barrier and walked in front of Amun, carefully perceiving the ancient evil aura exuded from the rhombustron.

"No more effort! Even if you have the power of the World Rune and the Darkborn, you can't banish me. ”

Amon's voice contained no emotion, and his tone was very flat, like an AI program without emotion.

Joshmore rubbed his chin and raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you imprisoned in this container by Hammerstone?" ”

"Captivity? Your human perspective is too narrow. ”

Amon calmly retorted: "This is just the place where I currently live, if you are 'imprisoned' by what you call 'captivity', aren't you all imprisoned on the material plane?"

"I can come to this place or leave whenever I want, and everything I can do, in your human parlance, is almost 'instantaneous'."

Ahri, who was still standing in place and didn't approach the rhombohedron with Josh, asked, "Are you one of Hammerstone's men?" ”

"Again, this narrow perspective that is confined to yourselves."

Amon rarely broke his composure and sighed: "You breathe air, is the air your men?" According to this reason, plants can exhale oxygen, so plants are also your subordinates?

"Nope! They are just in the same space, and you are on a physical plane, conditioned by the laws that do not understand their desires.

"You will always have some overly simple models in your mind, and you will always want to project these models onto everything you see, and even try to borrow your own logic to make all the laws work in a seamless and orderly manner.

"Hehe, this kind of concept and way of thinking not only reflects your human arrogance, but also really tires me."

Ahri was speechless for a moment, not thinking of how to refute Amon.

Gwen next to her half-covered her lips, revealing a look of surprise.

She could understand every word of Amon's appeal, but when put together, it seemed so inscrutable that Gwen couldn't understand the meaning at all.

"Erudite goddess, haven't you thought of this guy's origin?" Josh asked in his mind.

[Don't rush! I'm already thinking, and you're just interrupting my train of thought. 】

Josh stared at the dark green light on the rhombodron, "Since you're not Hammerstone's subordinate, why do you want to help him?" And if you're willing to help him, why don't you intervene against us 'invaders'? ”

"Hammerstone, he's an interesting soul who aligns with my philosophy, and I admire him, so I took the initiative to show up and offer Amun's free assistance."

Amon paused briefly, "As for why I didn't take action against you...... Hammerstone wasn't too happy about the toys I had killed him prematurely, so I stopped. ”

As he spoke, it sneered coldly, "I have seen through the thread of your fate...... Death is right on your side, and there is only one way to your future - annihilation! I am very happy with such delicious food. ”

Demons usually like to "talk gibberish".

They don't lie, but they usually take advantage of the lack of information to take advantage of language and emotions to defeat sapient beings, and thus devour their emotions and even their souls.

Death refers to Runitia, or the Eternal Hunt Twins Chijue whom Josh once met.

And the fate of annihilation, if not expected, is probably an invasion of the void, bringing the end of time, space and reality, and devouring everything.

Josh, of course, wouldn't listen to Amon's nonsense.

At this moment, Lunicia spoke again, and her words were full of joy:

[Consistent with the idea of the skull...... I seem to have thought of something! A demon that symbolizes cruelty and torment! Amon, whose real name is Amonagrass! Call its name in the ancient Shurima language! 】

Hearing this, Josh immediately said to Rhombohedron, "I already know your real name!" You are the demon of cruelty and torment, Amenagrath! ”

When Amon's true name was chanted by Josh in an ancient language, the demon turned its previous calm and became extremely flustered, and even the aura on its body that was comparable to Maokai quickly dissipated.

"No, no, no...... How daring! Amun spoke incoherently, "Dare, dare to call me by name!" ”

Josh immediately used arcane energy to wrap the rhombohedron in case something happened, and at the same time scolded sharply:

"Retreat, Amenagraz! Unleash the teleporter at your power and return to the realm where you rightfully exist! ”

The rhombohedral rotated more often at a faster rate, Amon was silent for a long time, and sighed heavily: "Now that you know my real name, my existence is meaningless, then...... As you wish. ”

Amon gathered the demonic magic attached to the teleportation array, and in the next second, the rhombanded body was covered by a dark green light, gradually turning into phantoms and energy particles, and disappeared into the material realm.

Josh, Ahri, and Gwen, who were all ready for battle, couldn't help but be stunned.

"That's it...... It's that simple? Gwen slung the scissors over her shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought there was going to be a big fight." ”

"Originally, it was only a cooperative relationship with Hammerstone, but now that we have seen through its real name, most of its strength has disappeared, so naturally it will not resist in vain."

Ahri explained to Gwen as she walked over to Josh, the energy-filled Sunstone hovering above her palm, resonating with the magical devices around her.

"There's also a floor of underground space here, and there's four floors above, where are we going to explore first?"

Seeing Josh close his eyes and concentrate, as if sensing the aura of the entire vault, Ahri asked.

Within a moment, Josh's eyes suddenly opened, and the blue light of the arcane light flashed out.

"I feel the breath of the hammerstone, he's back!" Josh looked at Ahri, "Let's go to the top!" ”

……

……

Dozens of days ago, the Night of Soul Eclipse erupted, and the boundless black mist enveloped the immortal soul, sweeping across the entire Python Islands.

On the top floor of Bilgewater, the Pirate King's Manor, a converted ocean-going warship.

The self-proclaimed King of Pirates, Planck, known for the "Scourge of the Seas", is restless and alone pacing back and forth in his bedroom.

The black fog was spreading, and the deafening gunfire could be heard everywhere in the manor, but there were still fish that slipped through the cracks in the doors and windows to burrow into the Pirate King's bedroom.

Planck casually pulled out his musket and pulled the trigger without looking.

The orange-yellow flames exploded, and the projectiles shattered the fogwalker who had just gathered black mist and revealed its body.

"Damn, damn, damn...... Damn it! It's a bunch of fucking rice buckets eating dry rice! ”

Planck walked over to the window with a panoramic view of the city of Bilgewater, looking out at the shipyard, which had been completely covered in the fog of corruption.

His tall collarbones curled up with the clenching of his teeth, and his thick beard was chopped in by heavy breathing.

At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and Planck's face darkened suddenly.

Damn, how many times has Lao Tzu said it, don't bother me!

Already full of anger in his heart, Planck raised his left arm, aimed the musket in his hand at the door, and his index finger was already on the trigger.

However, in the next second, the timely information of his subordinates made him dispel the idea of shooting: "Boss, Baru is about to summon Lady Beard over there and release her life force to purify the black fog!" ”

"What about the Sentinels of Light? Did they get into trouble? Like what...... A difficult pervasive, or a predator? ”

"Well, I don't think so." The men outside the door responded, "The sentinels of the sanctuary have formed a line, and at most there are only the wounded...... They have suppressed the black fog. ”

This should have been good news, but Planck's mood was not at all better.

"Okay, okay, I know, go down."

Listening to the footsteps outside the door, Planck slammed down the wall as if venting, already splashed by the damp corroded wood chips, but it did not hurt Planck's gloved rough hands.

"Aloy, Eloi...... Why are you moving so fast? ”

Just as Planck's eyes were lost and his mouth was muttering, a flash of green light illuminated the already dark and cold empty room.

Planck gripped the handle of his gun tightly, and aimed it in the direction that made his heart palpitate, but then he lowered his musket and said angrily: "Hammerstone! You're late! ”

Planck turned, and standing in the center of the room was the Warden of Soul Locks, wielding a Soul Lock Scythe and a Soul Guide Lantern.

"Something happened."

The hammerstone shook its body, and the chains clattered with the metal of the key.

His soul was not as condensed as Planck had seen at first, as if he had just gone through a great battle and had been consumed too much.

Planck frowned secretly, clenched his musket, and subconsciously touched the serpentine Bajou pendant on his chest with his right hand.

It was the first time that Aloy broke the tradition of Bajou, set foot in the city of Bilgewater, met him and fell in love, and gave him a token of love.

Although the two have been separated for many years, Planck still does not forget the warmth of the past, and retains this pendant enchanted with life force.

Of course, one of the reasons why he didn't lose the pendant was that it helped Planck cope with the annual Soul Eclipse Night crisis.

"I don't care what exactly you just did, our deal! Do you remember? ”

"Of course, great captain, King of Bilgewater, I have always kept your needs in mind."

"Hurry up, then!" Planck said viciously, "The Bajou True One has begun to summon the power of Naga Kapoulos!" Miss this opportunity, and you may not see me again on the night of the Eclipse! ”

Hammerstone smirked and didn't reply.

His left hand broke away from the floating bone lantern, and the claws as sharp as the claws of animals spread upward, and the shadow of the black mist emerged, condensing a golden crown with an emerald in the center.

"What is this?" Planck frowned in question, his heart full of vigilance.

The name of the Soul Lock Warden is like thunder.

For thousands of years, there have been countless legends about Hammerstone, and almost no one has ever been spared from this cunning and cruel creature.

The reason why Planck took a huge risk to trade with Hammerstone was that he was desperate.

According to the Sentinels of Light, who were bought by the Hooks, the leader of the Sentinels intended to gather forces over the years to wipe out Bilgewater's centuries-long pirate rule.

Whether the news is true or not, Planck must do something for the sake of Bilgewater's "throne" and his own rule.

Of course, even if they put together the entire Bilgewater base, their rabble will not be able to compete with the largest armed organization in the Land of Runeterra, which has been inherited for thousands of years.

Therefore, a little bit of "crooked ways" is indispensable.

As early as last year, when the Night of the Soul Eclipse arrived, the Warden of the Soul Lock took the initiative to come to the door and brought a deal for Planck.

He provides a batch of souls to the Hammerstone each year, and the Hammerstone will allow Prangi to stabilize Bilgewater's rule.

In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed.

"Shatter the Queen's Crown."

The hammerstone induces the dark magic and delivers the crown to Planck, but the cautious pirate king does not catch it directly.

The hammerstone pair didn't care, just kept the crown levitating, while explaining:

"Its owner is the last queen of Kamavia, who has been in decline for a thousand years, the most beloved of the Ruined King, and with it, you are qualified to face the Ruined King......"

"I don't care what the fuck that shit rundown king is, I just want to solidify my reign over Bilgewater!"

Planck's eyes were fierce, and he skipped over the delicate crown to the hammerstone in the center.

At this moment, a ray of light from the eastern sky pierced through the black fog and slowly spread outward.

Planck was shocked, and immediately turned his head to look at the source of the white light, "Damn! Ms. Beard has already started to exert her strength! ”

He turned around and grabbed the Broken Queen's Crown and looked back at Hammerstone, "You'd better hurry up and tell me what the hell this thing is for!" ”

"The Great Ruin hasn't reached its peak yet, but since you're in such a hurry, it's understandable that we should start the plan in advance."

Hammerstone's figure gradually sank into the black mist, and before Planck could speak in a hurry, he immediately said, "Bury the Broken Queen's crown in a place where no one notices, take care to avoid the Light Sentinels' investigation of the Night of Soul Eclipse, and come to Helia to find me." ”

"To the Isle of Shadows?" Planck's brow furrowed even tighter, "What do you want to do?!" ”

"Don't worry, if I wanted to collect your soul, I would have done it a long time ago, do you think that Baru pendant on your chest can stop the magic I have accumulated for thousands of years?"

A dark green mist emerged from the hammerstone's lantern and slammed into Planck, who was about to look down at the pendant, but only stayed on the periphery of the pendant, emitting a faint green light, completely entangled it.

Startled by the sudden attack, Planck immediately raised his gun and aimed it at Hammerstone, "What the are you doing?!" ”

"Just a small demonstration, Captain." Hammerstone smiled and dispelled the black mist magic.

The white light of the outside world was spreading, the black mist was receding, and the figure of Hammerstone completely submerged into the already thin corrupted mist, leaving only the voice to echo:

"Before landing on the Isle of Shadows, find some better Bajou relics that can protect you, and I'll be waiting for you at the Tower of Light in Helia.

"As for the next plan, when you come, I will naturally inform you."

The pounding heart could not be calmed, and the black fog evacuated the bedroom with Hammerstone's departure, Planck hurriedly turned around and looked out the window again.

Then, he looked down at the snake pendant that had completely lost its luster, and the crown that exuded an ominous aura in his right hand, and his face was gloomy.
